YOUR INKLINGInkling can be used anywhere you might use a regular pencil, pen, and paper. As you sketch on any kind of paper, Inkling digitally captures your sketches and saves them for uploading to your computer at a later time.

Inkling consists of two basic elements: the Inkling digital pen and the Inkling receiver. The pen works with the receiver to digitally capture your sketches. Together, the pen and receiver act like a portable digital sketchbook.

Inkling saves your information in one place for quick access. Use the Inkling Sketch Manager to organize and prepare your work for editing in vector- or raster-based applications.

The quickest way to learn about Inkling is to become familiar with its appearance and features.

WORKING WITH INKLINGInkling gives you the power to create sketches on paper and digitally capture them at the same time. You can use the Inkling Sketch Manager to view, organize, and prepare your sketches before exporting and editing them in your favorite applications.

This chapter describes how to use Inkling. It includes information to help you work more comfortably, and to better understand how Inkling interacts with your computer.

Preparing to sketchAttaching the receiver to paperSketchingAdding layersChanging pagesViewing and uploading a sketch

16IndexContents

16IndexContents

PREPARING TO SKETCHIt is easy to create sketches with Inkling:

• Start by attaching the receiver to paper.

• Turn on the receiver. The power LED blinks briefly, then glows green when the receiver is ready.

• Begin sketching with the pen.

• Whenever you feel like adding layers to the sketch, press the new layer button (located on the receiver). Continue to sketch, adding new layers as you desire.

• To create a new sketch, remove the finished page from the receiver and add a new page. A new sketch file is created each time you open and close the receiver clip. See changing pages.

• When you are done sketching, turn off the receiver. Then connect the receiver to your computer in preparation for viewing and uploading a sketch.

For best results, be sure to adjust the click threshold.

Tips:

• Inkling can be used on most relatively smooth, flat surfaces. Use a gentle grip when working with the pen.

• As you draw, maintain a direct line of sight between the pen tip cone and receiver. Digital recording will not occur if your fingertips, hand, or other object blocks the line of sight.

• Inkling can be used in most environments. Although uncommon, an exceptionally noisy environment may interfere with the ability of Inkling to accurately record your sketches.

• If you are in a group setting where other people are using an Inkling, you can still sit beside each other and not interfere with one another’s work.

Note regarding RSI: Wacom makes no representation, promise or guarantee that Wacom products will cure or prevent, in whole or in part, mouse-induced repetitive stress symptoms, injuries or conditions. Individual results may vary. Always obtain competent medical advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation.

17IndexContents

ATTACHING THE RECEIVER TO PAPERA new sketch file is created whenever the receiver clip is opened and then closed as you attach the Inkling receiver to a sheet of paper. Attach the receiver to loose sheets, or to pages in a notebook or drawing pad. The receiver can accept up to 10 pages (1 mm or 0.04 inch total thickness) at a time.

The Inkling default condition is for placement of the receiver at the top center of an A4/letter sized page in portrait orientation. However, you can orient the receiver on any side of the paper, depending on your preferred handedness or sketching style. See managing Inkling settings for details.

1. Squeeze the receiver clip slightly and insert paper into the opening. Release the clip. Be sure to center the receiver on the page edge.

2. Press the receiver power button. Wait until the power LED stops blinking and glows green.

3. Begin sketching.

Tips:

• After you attach the receiver, leave it in place until you are done sketching. If you remove and then replace the receiver, the new pen strokes you make on paper will be mis-aligned with the previous strokes when recorded in digital form.

• When you change pages and the receiver is on, the new layer LED lights momentarily to indicate the creation of a new sketch file.

Receiver

There is a limited performance zone below the receiver. Within this narrow zone the receiver cannot reliably record your pen strokes. Always write or sketch below this zone.

The limited performance zone is approximately 2.0 cm (0.8 inch) on A4/letter size paper. It may vary slightly for larger or smaller paper sizes.Paper

SKETCHING The Inkling digital pen is cordless and pressure sensitive. As you write and sketch on regular paper with the pen, the Inkling receiver digitally captures your sketches and saves them for uploading to your computer at a later time.

Holding the penSketching with pressure and tilt

HOLDING THE PENHold the pen at a comfortable angle like you would a normal pen or pencil.

Important: To maintain the battery charge and click threshold of your pen, place the pen in the charging case or lay it flat on your desk when not in use. Do not place it in a container where it will rest on its tip.

Proper position shown, with fingers on the grip area above the pen tip cone.

When sketching, always maintain a direct line of sight between the pen tip cone and receiver. Digital recording will not occur if your fingertips, hand, or other object blocks the line of sight.

As you draw, apply pressure to the pen tip on paper. The status LEDs on the pen and receiver will glow green to indicate the pen strokes are being recorded.

Tips:

• Remember that there is a limited performance zone below the receiver where the receiver cannot reliably record your pen strokes. See attaching the receiver to paper.

• For optimum performance, avoid sketching on uneven surfaces.• As you sketch, be sure your hand does not block the line of sight between the pen tip cone and receiver.

• You cannot record sketches when the Inkling receiver is connected to your computer.

19IndexContents

19IndexContents

SKETCHING WITH PRESSURE AND TILTAs you sketch on paper, Inkling will digitally capture the variations in pen tip pressure and tilt.

If you make a mistake you can delete unwanted strokes in the Inkling Sketch Manager or export to another application and make changes there.

Important: To maintain the battery charge and click threshold of your pen, place the pen in the charging case or lay it flat on your desk when not in use. Do not place it in a container where it will rest on its tip.

ADDING LAYERSAs you write or sketch, press the new layer button (located on the receiver). The new layer LED glows momentarily to indicate the creation of a new layer in your sketch. Continue to sketch, adding layers as you desire.

• Layers can be used to segment a sketch into discrete pieces.

• Create many small “thinking” sketches on a single page by creating a new layer after you complete each item.

• When working on a larger sketch, create layers to simplify the editing process later, or to try different approaches or styles in the same sketch.

• Enhance your work flow by creating layered sketches ready for viewing and upload to your computer.

• After uploading, use the Inkling Sketch Manager for editing and working with layers. Your layered sketches (or individual layers) can be quickly saved to different formats, or exported to your favorite applications for further editing.

Experiment. Discover how easy it is to create layers as you draw, and the many ways in which they can be used.

CHANGING PAGESSqueeze the receiver clip to open and remove the finished page. Add a new page and release the clip over the paper. See attaching the receiver to paper. When you change pages, the new layer LED lights momentarily to indicate the creation of a new sketch file.

Tip: The receiver will automatically turn itself off and save the currently open file after 30 minutes without pen activity. See also status lights.

20IndexContents

20IndexContents

VIEWING AND UPLOADING A SKETCHAfter you have finished sketching, connect the Inkling receiver to your computer. Upload the files to your computer for further editing.

1. Attach the small end of the provided USB cable to the receiver. Connect the other end to a primary USB port located directly on your computer, or to a powered USB hub. The power LED will glow green or red, depending on battery charge.

The Inkling Sketch Manager will open automatically. The folder tree will show the MY SKETCHES folder, located on the receiver. This is where your sketch files are located.

2. Use the Inkling Sketch Manager to work with your sketch files.

3. Move files from the Inkling receiver to your computer.

• Drag file thumbnails to a folder tree location.

• In the toolbar, choose FILE and select a SAVE option.

• Right-click on a thumbnail and choose the COPY TO... option.

4. When you are done working, close the Sketch Manager.

5. Before disconnecting the receiver, use the SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE (Windows) or EJECT (Macintosh) system option. Then disconnect the receiver from your computer. The receiver turns off automatically when disconnected.

MANAGING INKLING SETTINGSUse the Inkling Sketch Manager to change your Inkling settings. From the upper toolbar choose TOOLS and SETTINGS (Windows) or SKETCH MANAGER and PREFERENCES... (Macintosh). Within the SETTINGS dialog choose a tab and make your changes. Click APPLY or OK to save your changes. All options are available from the PREVIEWER. The GENERAL options are also available when in EDITOR view.

SETTINGS TABS

MAPPING Inkling automatically detects your pen strokes as you sketch. Inkling is optimized for a page size of A4/letter, portrait orientation.

Choose the PAPER SIZE you typically use, and the ORIENTATION in which you like to sketch. Then choose the position where you will clip the receiver onto the page.

Supported paper sizes include:

• A4, A5, A6, and A7

• Letter, legal, and junior legal(8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 14, and 8.0 x 5.0 inches, respectively)

Tip: If you sketch with the receiver in a different position, the digital sketch file may appear rotated in the Sketch Manager. Use the Rotate controls to adjust the sketch orientation.

31IndexContents

SETTINGS TABS

PEN Choose options in the PEN tab to define how the pen strokes you make on paper will appear in digital form.

• Choose the BALLPOINT DIAMETER of the cartridge that you will use in the Inkling digital pen. This serves as a baseline ink width. Different ball sizes affect the presentation of your strokes in digital form.

• DEFAULT BRUSH SIZE sets the size of the pen stroke width in digital form, and is based on the BALLPOINT DIAMETER.

• DEFAULT BRUSH COLOR sets the color that your pen strokes will appear when viewed on your computer’s display screen or monitor.

• LAYER HIGHLIGHT sets the COLOR and WIDTH of the stroke lines in the selected layer.

• SCRUBBER’S COLOR enables you to define the highlight colors that are used to isolate pen strokes within the Sketch Manager EDITOR.

SETTINGS TABS

CLICK THRESHOLD Use this tab to calibrate your pen click threshold to the inking cartridge.

1. To adjust the click threshold, clip the Inkling receiver to a typical piece of sketching paper and then connect the receiver to your computer using the included USB cable or any other USB to USB Mini-B cable (commonly available).

2. As soon as you connect the receiver to the computer, the pen will start moving the screen cursor.

3. Find the area on your paper that moves the screen cursor within the test area on this tab.

4. Then sketch a couple of typical lines in that area and compare them with the digital lines in the test area on this tab.

5. If needed, use the slider to adjust the click threshold until the start and end of the digital lines correspond to the start and end of the ink lines on the paper.

Tips:

• Wacom recommends you calibrate the click threshold before using a new pen, and when switching to inking cartridges of a different brand or ball size.

• If you accidentally set the setting too soft for your pen, the tip will draw even when it does not touch the paper. Use a mouse or trackpad to change the click threshold slider to a harder setting and try again.

36IndexContents

TEST YOUR INKLING1. Verify the pen and receiver are communicating. As you use the pen on paper, the pen LED and the

status LED on the receiver should both glow green to indicate correct functionality. See status lights. If not, then check that you have turned the receiver on by pressing the power button. Go to the next step.

2. Check the receiver.

• If the power LED is red or off, charge the receiver battery. See charging batteries. For best results when troubleshooting no power (LED does not light), properly connect the receiver to the system USB port on your computer.

• With the pen in use, the status LED located on the receiver should glow green. This indicates good data reception between the pen and receiver.

• Press the new layer button. The new layer LED should momentarily light green to indicate the creation of a new layer. The LED should also light green whenever you clip a new sheet of paper into the receiver.

3. Check the pen.

• If the power LED is red, charge the pen battery. See charging batteries.

• Press the pen tip against paper. The LED on the pen should glow green to indicate the pen is in use and that the battery charge is okay.

4. Verify that you can upload files from the receiver to your computer. See viewing and uploading a sketch.

5. Check the product in online mode.

• Properly connect the receiver to your computer. If a receiver status LED does not illuminate, your USB port may be disabled. Verify that you have connected Inkling to an active USB port. If you are connecting to a powered USB hub, be sure the hub is properly connected to your computer and is active.

• Move your pen across the page. The screen cursor should move in the corresponding direction on your monitor or display screen.

6. Check the charging case.

• Insert the pen and receiver into the charging case. See charging batteries.

• Properly connect the case to an active USB port on your computer. If connecting to a powered USB hub, be sure the hub is properly connected to your computer and is active. For best results, connect the case to the system USB port located on your computer.

• The pen charging status LED should be green or red, depending on the pen battery charge. See also status lights.

• The receiver power LED should be red or green, depending on the receiver battery charge.

• Determine if you can work with sketch files when the charging case is connected to your computer and the receiver is located within the case.

7. If these tests fail, you may have a defective component. See technical support options.

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLESIf you encounter problems with Inkling, refer to the following tables. Your problem may be described here and you can try the solution offered. Be sure to check the Read Me file for the latest information updates.

For additional information, visit Wacom’s web site at http://www.wacom.com/productsupport.

GENERAL PROBLEMSThe receiver power LED is red or off.

The receiver battery charge is low. Charge the battery. For best results, properly connect the receiver to the system USB port on your computer. See charging batteries.

The computer does not have an available USB port.

Inkling requires that you connect to a primary USB port (located directly on your computer) or to a powered USB hub. If not available you will need to add a powered USB hub or USB card.

If you are connecting Inkling to a powered USB hub, be sure the hub is properly connected to your computer and is active.

The receiver battery does not charge.

Verify that the USB cable is properly plugged into the receiver, and that it is plugged directly into a powered USB port on your computer or a powered USB hub.

Try charging the receiver within the charging case, or connecting to a different powered USB port.

The battery may need replacement. See receiver battery information.

Receiver status LEDs are off. An LED does not illuminate when using the pen.

Be sure the receiver is turned on. Press the receiver power button. If the LED does not light, the battery may need to be charged. See charging batteries.

After connecting the receiver or charging case to a USB port, a message appears indicating that the USB device needs more power than is available.

Make sure the Inkling component is plugged into a primary USB port on your computer or into a powered USB hub attached to your computer.

The battery charging process seems to stop whenever the computer enters sleep mode.

As required, adjust your system power or energy saver settings so that the computer does not enter sleep mode while Inkling components are charging.

The receiver does not record pen strokes.

Be sure you are using the pen and receiver correctly. See preparing to sketch.

38IndexContents

38IndexContents

When working in online mode, double-clicking is difficult.

Be sure you are quickly tapping the paper twice in the same place with the pen tip.

Windows: Try setting your system to launch programs with a single click.

The pen does not draw on paper.

Change the pen cartridge. See replacing the pen cartridge.

The pen writes on paper, but does not seem to communicate with the Inkling receiver.

Be sure there is a direct line of sight between the pen tip cone and the receiver. When the pen is in use, a status LED should glow on both the pen and receiver. Test your Inkling if not.

If necessary, adjust the pen click threshold.

Sketches are not always recorded, or some strokes are missing.

The receiver needs a direct line of sight to the pen. Digital recording will not occur if your fingertips or hand block the line of sight.

To correct this, ensure you are correctly holding the pen. You can also change the placement where you are attaching the receiver to paper.

If necessary, adjust the pen click threshold.

Some strokes or portions of strokes are missing from the sketch closest to where the receiver was located on the paper.

There is a limited performance zone where the receiver cannot reliably record your pen strokes. See attaching the receiver to paper.

Begin your sketches below this zone.

The computer does not go to sleep when working with Inkling in online mode.

When you are not using the pen, move the pen away from receiver proximity or Inkling may continue to send data, keeping the computer awake.

The computer does not recognize the receiver.

Try connecting to a different USB port.

Reset the receiver to its factory default condition. Using the end of a paper clip or other pointed object, press the reset button (located in the small hole on the bottom of the receiver).

All receiver LEDs are constantly on or blinking, and the receiver does not respond.

Reset the receiver. Press the reset button using the end of a paper clip or other pointed object.

Receiver does not turn on, even when connected to USB source.

Reset the receiver. Press the reset button using the end of a paper clip or other pointed object.

Receiver shuts down unexpectedly.

The receiver will save the last opened file and shut down when any of the following occur:

• 30 minutes without pen activity

• Battery is in low charge state for 10 minutes

• Memory is full.

APPENDIXThis section contains tips on caring for Inkling, instructions on how to use Inkling as a computer navigation tool, and more.

Care for InklingOnline modeProduct informationAvailable parts and accessoriesOrdering parts and accessories

CARE FOR INKLINGKeep your Inkling components clean. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth will help to prolong the life of your product. You can also slightly dampen the cloth using a very mild soap diluted with water. Do not use volatile liquids, such as paint thinner or benzene, because they may damage the plastic casings.

Keep your Inkling in a clean, dry place and avoid extremes in temperature. Room temperature is best. Your Inkling digital pen and other components are not made to come apart, except as indicated within this manual to change the batteries or pen cartridge. Twisting the pen body can break the pen. Taking apart the product will void your warranty.

Important: Take care to never spill liquids onto your Inkling components. All components contain sensitive electronic parts that will fail if liquids enter them.

42IndexContents

42IndexContents

ONLINE MODEWhenever the Inkling receiver is properly connected to your computer, you can use the Inkling digital pen to point, click, double-click, and navigate your computer.

1. Clip the receiver to the top center of a single or notepad sheet of paper.

2. Using the provided USB cable, properly connect the receiver to a primary USB port located directly on your computer, or to a powered USB hub.

If an autorun dialog opens, dismiss the dialog.

3. Hover the Inkling digital pen slightly over the paper to navigate your computer. (If the pen is in sleep mode, first touch the pen tip to the paper. This synchronizes the pen to the receiver.)

• Tap once to click.

• Tap twice to double-click.

4. When finished, disconnect the receiver from your computer. Before disconnecting, use the SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE (Windows) or EJECT (Macintosh) system option. The receiver turns off automatically when disconnected.

The active area beneath the receiver senses pen movement. This area is 12 x 19 cm (4.8 x 7.6 inches), and begins approximately 5 cm (2 inches) below the receiver. You can only navigate when using the pen within the receiver’s active area.

Tip: Leaving the Inkling digital pen within the receiver active area may interfere with screen cursor positioning when using other pointing devices, or may prevent your computer from going to sleep.

The cursor on your monitor or display screen follows as you move the pen tip.
